I was clearly wrong so I'd like to take this time to issue my most sincere and heartfelt apologies to all of you.

Ok, but... about what?

Calling it now -- Mikkel's plan is to make the troll fall over on its back

I can't speak for the others, but for me you don't need to worry about apologizing. We are calling that things will happen all the time, and sometimes (many times) we miss the shot. Minna loves to surprise us

Agreed - I have mostly stopped sharing my musings speculating because I am almost always so wrong.  (Although I let the fanworks I've made stand, bc my ego demands it, even when I'm jossed.)

[Róisín]

Even jossed fanworks can be great fun!

[Mebediel]

Yeah, it's fun to speculate even when you end up being completely wrong And it's fun to look back on jossed fanwork/headcanons and see where the fandom was at various points in time.

Are those probably-not-exactly-bears walking into the dawn light?

I reckon one of them is Beast, but the other two? Fascinating to speculate whether they are hale or beast, and why they have to come to accompany our pierced karhu.  Also, certainly sunset, as per the laundry, bathing, and subsequent zZz.

[Mebediel]

If they're the bears from the front page banner, then I'd guess that all three of them are beasts. Although I'm not sure which one this bear is...the bear with the spear through its neck on the front page doesn't seem to have a face.

That makes sense; I don't know why I took it for dawn -- except maybe in the hope that tent sleepers would wake up before the bears get there, if the bears are headed toward them. Seems likely to me they're headed either for Onni or the group following Onni.

Not sure whether the idea of the bears not minding sunlight (which would be implied if they're walking into the dawn) or the idea of them heading straight for a tent full of sleeping occupant(s) is more unnerving. -- Onni can't set a watch schedule, there's just him. But shouldn't the following crew be posting a watch? Are they relying on the Cat Alarm? She's probably asleep too!

I think they're following Onni, because on page 254, we saw their paw print following Onni's track. So maybe in the next chapter, the crew will catch up with Onni when he will facing the bears ?

[Jitter]

Minna confirmed in the stream that oh yes the bears are definitely beasts. But when asked whether Onni is following them or they following Onni, she wouldn’t say.

Because we are an easily excitable lot.

[Mebediel]

Maybe Onni is following them AND they're following Onni! Trapped in an eternal tracking loop until the crew comes to break the cycle...

[wavewright62]

Saku, you done let yourself go, dude. 
What?
Who else do we know from the Prologue who's that much of a sad sniffle-sack?
